User Review

Good – probably will watch it again sometime.

Rating: 7/10


I recently saw this film just based on its stars, Aaron Eckhart and
Olga Kurylenko. Having watched it, I wonder why it was not better
promoted.

An action/suspense flick, it features Eckhart as a CIA agent whose
cover suddenly disappears, putting himself and his daughter (Liana
Liberato) in mortal danger. No surprise, it looks like some kind of
ruthless cover-up conspiracy. Yes, we've all seen movies like this
before, but this is a tense, taut, and well-made suspense movie with
very good casting. Eckhart is perfect for his role as the pseudo-good
guy; handsome, dapper, chiseled. Kurylenko is also great as Anna, the
subtly beautiful and inscrutable former colleague and possibly lover,
who has the task of bringing him in, whatever that means. Liana
Liberato does a credible job as the estranged daughter who just finds
out that her Dad is or was a killer.

The plot moves quickly from story setup to action, and the suspense
never lets up from there. While it doesn't quite have the thrills of a
'Bourne' film, it kept me interested. And while you kind of know (or
hope) how it will end, it is definitely fun getting there.

It is a good movie that I will probably watch again.
